    The wheelarch scrape is about 6 inches long not down to the metal though, door handle Im sure I can replace not too expensively but the door panel has a flake down to the metal.

    Someone please tell me it will be alright and wont cost me the earth!!

    No more parking underground for me.

    Will get pics up later!
    Sorry to hear about your scrape matey, unfortunately its going to cost a wee bit, I've not used that company but have had good experiences with the like of Chipaway and similar firms.

    Some of the allocated parking spaces these days are stupidly small, especially in those underground car parks etc. more suitable for parking motor-cycles than cars, especially large cars.

    I go to extreme lengths to ensure I park somewhere safe, usually in a disabled bay whenever I can as I'm a bluebadge holder which has saved me from a few scrapes and bumps I'm sure.

    Bad luck bud. I parked next to a tall fence recently and forgot I had full right lock on. Got in to rush to maccy D's and reversed and stopped with about an inch to go before I ripped the front off

    Cheers guys. Ive just been round to my local independant body repair places, quoted £200 + VAT to get it all sorted so im alot less stressed about it. Booked her in for Wed next week, will take 2 days, but will seek out other quotes in meantime. Full repray has to be better than chipsaway methods??
